Chasing 129, India sealed victory with 25 balls to spare. Abhishek smashed 31 off 13 balls with four fours and two sixes, while captain Suryakumar Yadav anchored the chase with an unbeaten 47, his highest T20I score against Pakistan. Tilak Varma added a steady 31 in a 56-run stand with Suryakumar. Saim Ayub was the lone wicket-taker for Pakistan, picking all three Indian scalps.
